Gestalt

Gestalt is under active development. APIs and configuration may change between releases. Feedback and bug reports are welcome via GitHub Issues.

Gestalt (/ɡəˈstält/) refers to the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Gestalt is a self-hostable, open source platform for managing agentic tools and services, with declarative configuration and secure credential management built in.

Why Gestalt

Agents need tools. Tools need auth. Auth needs credential storage, encryption, token refresh, and scoped access control. Every team building with agents ends up solving the same infrastructure problems before they can ship.

Gestalt handles this so individual agents and applications do not have to. A single YAML config declares which tools to expose, how users authenticate, and how credentials are managed.

What Gestalt provides

• Credentials and connection data are encrypted at rest, on infrastructure you control.
• A single YAML config declaratively defines which tools to expose, how users authenticate, and how credentials are managed.
• The same operations are available over MCP, HTTP, CLI, and optional mounted web UIs for cloud agents, local coding assistants, and human operators.
• Auth backends, IndexedDB storage, secrets managers, caches, telemetry, audit sinks, and public web UIs are all provider packages.
• Deploy on infrastructure you control with Docker, Helm, or your own container platform.

What Gestalt Is Not

Gestalt is not a SaaS platform. It is open source and self-hostable on infrastructure you control, so you keep ownership of your data, credentials, and deployment.

Gestalt also does not replace your existing APIs. It sits between agents and upstream services, handling auth and credential lifecycle while your APIs stay where they are.

Quick Start

Tap the Gestalt Homebrew repository and install both binaries:

brew tap valon-technologies/gestalt
brew install valon-technologies/gestalt/gestaltd
brew install valon-technologies/gestalt/gestalt

Start the server:

gestaltd

When no config file exists, gestaltd generates ~/.gestaltd/config.yaml, starts with SQLite storage via the first-party RelationalDB provider, mounts the default UI at /, enables a default HTTPBin plugin, and listens on http://localhost:8080.

In a second terminal, connect the CLI to the server:

gestalt init
gestalt plugin list
gestalt plugin invoke httpbin get_ip
